I don't mind the raise all that much. I don't understand the 2nd year. With a second year AAV should have been for at best what he made this year.

I don't understand why the Oilers felt that they needed to do this. It's again a bad bet by the team. Did they really think there were a line-up of teams ready to give Smith this deal? This is expensive back-up money - and two of his last three seasons were awful.
I figure it's one of three things:
1) Smith's agent told Holland he had rumblings that other teams wanted him and Holland panicked.
2) The Oilers decided to give him the "good soldier" contract like they gave Eric Gryba with money that they are fine with being sunk on later.
3) Smith was arguing for $4MMish for this year, and so they agreed on the second year to spread it out.
Maybe the Oilers looked at the improvement from 2020 to 2021 (.902 to .923) and just extrapolated that forward though? Didn't want to miss out on the .963 season at age 40...
No matter how you cut it, it's a dumb decision to go any longer than one year for him. But, that's the Oilers!
